"That is an hour a day you get back—to spend with family—not to mention that if you get out of your car and ride this new service, you get to read, sleep, or just relax," Leanne Redden, RTA senior deputy executive director of strategic planning and regional programs, told the Tribune.

The RTA, which has scheduled to announce the plan later today, says there will be limited stops from Bolingbrook to as far east as the Dan Ryan or Lake Shore Drive.
